Only Yesterday the fields
Looked so commonplace and bare;
Now they arc go fresh and green.
Only yesterday the woods
Were but beach and elm trees;
They are vocal now with song,
Full OF tender mysteries.
What. has changed the fields aud woods,
Made Tho ssy so blue above,
Filled tho ambient air with songf
was all the work of love.
Mary through tho tields and woods
walked along last night with mo:
Heard my vows. while thrushes sang,
Sweat oh sweetF' from every tree.
Only yesterday my work
seemed so Wearisone and dull,
As tho hours went slowly by
Zach OF irksome labor full;
But to day do not fear
With the hardest task to cope,
For the workers hand Is strong
When his heart Is full Of hope.
Love this morning sent me on
To my work with willing feet;
Love passed every hour away,
To q measure quick aud swret;
Fields and woods and my own heart
Arc with song aud music rife;
Work Ia easy for q home.
Work In pleasure for wife.
Rove can MI the hardest day
With n sense OF light and song;
Love can make the gloomy gay,
Love cun make the weary strong;
Love can make the fields d bloom,
Pill the woods with melody
Love II merry; In her smile

FOREIGN.-Great Britain.-Loudon
special dispatches state that as the polit-
ical affairs OF France have lost a great
deal of their interest. The politicians and
people generally are discussing the fair
trade" agitation which has been stirred
up, and which will certainly destroy all
relations between the Conservatives and
their allies, the Liberal Unionists. Lord
Hartlngton's speech on fair trade agita-
ton at the Unionist conference has failed
to satisfy the free-traders, and has given
offense to most of the Conservatives. The
Liberal Unionist press has taken up the
discussion vigorously, and declares that
free trade is distinctly more important
question than that of home rule for Ire
land. They also declare that no alliance
with the Tory party is possible hereafter,
if the Tories in their Parliamentary
action are TO be associated as party with
any measure directed toward protection.
France Paris dispatches announce
that three shots were fred at M. Jules
Ferry in the lobby of the Chamber of
Deputies, by man named Aubertin.
The wounds are slight. The bystsnders
tried to lynch the man after he had fired
the shots, and were prevented with Diff
ficulty from carrying out their intention.
In consequence of the attempt upon the
life of M. Ferry there were many heated
quarrels in the lobby of the Chamber of
Deputies between Moderates and Radi-
Gals. M. Rouvier joined in the discus
sion, accusing the Radicals of provoking
weak-minded persons to deeds of violence.
President Carnot received the congratu-
lations of the diplomatic body. In reoly-
I am conscious of the share taken by
the diplomatic body in the promoting Of
good relations between France and the
other powers, and am happy to express
to its members my gratitude" The new
Ministry is not yet formed.
Russia.-From st. Petersburg we learn
that the Novoe Vrem ia expresses much
satisfaction that the military council held
at Vienna did not resolve to send rein
forcements to the Galician frontier, and
praises Archduke Albrecht, whose coun-
sci averted the danger of the Hapsburg
monarchy being placed il a difficult po-
sition by certain politicians.
Germany.-Berlin dispatches announce
that the preamble of the new German
military service bill was issued Saturday.
1t abounds in plain speaking regarding
the armies which Germany must calcu-
late upon placing on the field of battle.

1t is with pleasure that we call attention to
the magnificent crockery and glassware store
of Messrs. Pitkin & Brooks, Cor. State and

most spacious of the kind in the West, and
the goods it contains-well one must see
them to form any idea of their tempting ele
gance, their worth, their utility. Invoices
are arriving from Europe every day, the
special selections of members of the firm;
rare goods, comprising products of the royal
potteries of Dresden and Worcester, china
from Doulton, Dimoges, Hungarian, Flem-

Cut glass in handsome designs after new

Goods of this class are always acceptable as
gifts as they contribute daily to the refine

TUESDAY, Dec. 6, President Cleveland
sent his third annual message to Con-
gress. 1t is devoted exclusively to the
question of revenue. The following ex-
tracts are sufficient 10 give the trend of
the message:
"You are confronted at the threshold
of your legislative duties with a condi-
ton of the national finances which imper-
atiyely demands immediate and careful
consideration. The amount of money
annually exacted, through the operation
of present lave, from the industries and
necessities of the people largely exceeds
the sum necessary to meet the expenses
OF the Government. When we consider
that the theory OF our institutions guar
antees to every citizen the full enjoyment
of all the fruits of his industry and enter
prise, with only such deductions as may
be his share toward the careful and econ
omical maintenance OF the Government
which protects him, it is plain that the
exaction of more than this is indefensible
extortion and a culpable betrayal of
American fairness and justice. This wrong
inflicted upon chose who bear the burden
Of national taxation, like other wrongs,
multipies a brood of evil consequences.
The public Treasury, which should only
exist as a conduit conveying the peoples
tribute to its legitimate objects of expen-
diture, becomes a boarding place for
money needlessly withdrawn from trade
and the peoples use, thus Gripping our
